i made the medium size.

the 2 skeins that i bought both came out of the cake very similar to ashlea’s. i also pooled the colors on the arms to match the main piece like ashlea did.

i stopped when i got to row 19 and came back to it later. when i opened the pattern later, i got stuck. the counts weren’t adding up, so i fudged it and continued. i finished the remainder of the body then moved to the sleeves.

when starting the sleeve, i realized that when i opened the pattern back up at row 19, i was reading the instructions for the small. woops!!
i continued anyway, with 48 hdc around the sleeve instead of 52. the arm holes were a bit small.

i ended on row 44 because i was running out of dark grey. i needed what was left for the sleeves and possible fringe (if i had enough). turns out that i didn’t have enough for fringe, so i left it off.

when i put it on, the back by my neck puffs out. i’m not sure why it’s doing that. all of my counts in the beginning were correct until row 19.
it’s still beautiful and i will wear it regardless. i wore it to work today and got lots of compliments on it!

thanks for a great pattern, ashlea! i’m onto #2 using caron cotton cakes :D
